Jammal Lord vs Taylor Martinez

[Goskers07]

Assume for a second we don't have Dylan, but you have the opportunity to bring back either Jammal Lord or Taylor Martinez. Which are you taking and why?

Both were subpar passers, however both were electric athletes and tough as nails (as long as no toes met any lockers). One had a much better surrounding cast for sure, but overall very similar players imo.

This is no comparison here for me. As I recall, Lord might as well have spiked the ball when he passed, because it looked like that’s what he was doing. Martinez had a painful to watch throwing motion, but at least most passes got in the general vicinity.

Isn’t Haarberg just a less physical lord?

I like Lord better, Lord was tougher, Lord was a better teammate, and T Martinez was not a good passer and a fumble machine.

But I'd take T Martinez easily, Lord was a really bad passer.

Was the first few games of that season one of the last times Nebraska fans had real hope that far into the season?
That was just blissfull happiness.

Jamal Lord had a 48% completion rate for his career so it isn't hard of a choice.

Give me T-Magic

Jamal Lord tried very hard. No quit in that guy. But TM was much better.

I put him in the same category as Tommie Frazier skill wise. Pretty much an option qb or maybe a safety. Outside of that maybe no real posistion fo either. You wouldn’t want either in a modern offense.

If lord came 10 years earlier his legacy would be different

I imagine this was him goin inside those sorority girls

Taylor. Lord would have been a great RB here. Solich did him no favors with his offense just as Frost with Adrian. I’m not sure Pelini perfected the use of Taylor, but it was far better for him then those 2 had it.

We did start 7-0 and were ranked No. 8 in the nation in 2016.

I really thought this would be a closer debate. Both players led their teams to some strong seasons and some rough spots. Taylor had a much better cast around him though. Give me Niles Paul, Brandon Kinnie and Kenny Bell over Ross Pilkington, Wilson Thomas and Mark LeFlore anyway (although a Herian vs Reed/Cotton debate would be fun top, at TE).

I picked Lord. Just liked the way he played better. Probably bench him a few games in for Martinez though after his 8 interceptions in two games.

Would gladly still take Lord and convert him to RB. Guy was a tough sumbitch.

 

[Husker_in_OK]

Taylor no question .. Lord was was frustrating with how he could make a big play and then turn it over a few plays later..

Not even remotely. Lord was 5x the player HH is. HH can get moving when an alley is created for him but he isn’t the dynamic runner that was Lord was.

I’d take Taylor Martinez over Lord but Lord was a good player.

 

[2010sarenevercomingback]

Pre-injury, I'd go T Magic for sure.

I want Lord on my team, but I'm putting him at safety or OLB (he signed an NFL deal as a safety with the Texans, but didn't make the roster), or maybe a look at RB. Tough & physical, but never had that touch as an option master QB, IMO.

 

[ShortSideOption]

Shouldn't we be asking who we would take out of these QBs?
